closing lecture ang sobrang matagumpay exhibit na Splendor: Juan Luna, Painter as Hero.

Dahil although I talk about Juan Luna as a teacher, hindi naman talaga ako Juan Luna expert, pero nakaisip ako ng topic na feeling ko I can talk on the strength of my experience, “Art as

After maubos na ang lahat ng kopya dapat matagal ko nang Image
nailabas ito pero huli man at magaling, narito na siya para sa madla.

Reflexive siya, it summarizes my career as a Public Historian at yung context ng aking karera sa mahigit isang daang taong praktis ng Public History dito sa bansa.

Ito rin ay nagtataglay ng isang hiraya o
vision para sa isang Kasaysayang Pangmadla, isang kasaysayan na naiintindihan ng lahat ng Pilipino dahil nakasulat ito sa Wikang Filipino at nakabatay sa batayang metodo ng pagsusuri ng katotohanan, na lalong kailangan natin sa panahon ng pagbabaluktot sa kasaysayan. Kumbaga

Sorpresang dumalo sa noong 26 Marso 2023 sa programang "PANATA'T PABASA SA BAHAY NAKPIL BAUTISTA" sa Bahay Nakpil-Bautista Museum.

Ang tampok nito at pagbasa na ginawa ng Cantores dela Sagrada Pasion ng Cardona, Rizal na itinampok sa presentasyon ni Franz Ramirez.
Naroon din si Kuya Bong Grajo ng Quiapo Church at Ate Jeanette Grajo. Si Kuya Bong pala ay nag-aral ng kasaysayan ng Pasiong Mahal noong siya ay nasa seminaryo pa. Naroon din ang mga taga Advicates of Heritage Preservation.

From Dominic Benedict Santos - Viola Faustino,
descendant of Julio Nakpil who gave a presentation on Musika at Panata: Historia at Pabasa:

I never knew that the Sueño eterno of Lolo Julio was used for the Santo Entierro during the Semana
